8 and a half years ago a YouTuber by the name of 'Davincij15' uploaded a video basic
<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>On May 9th, 2013 youtuber Davincij15 made a 6 minute video going over what Bitcoin is, and it’s potential, in his opinion at the time and pleaded with his audience to just buy $1 worth and leave it in a wallet. </p> <blockquote> <p>A lot of you don’t believe in the Bitcoin system and that’s fine. You can stay on the sidelines. But if you really want to become wealthy in the future I would suggest you take one frickin dollar, one dollar and buy some Bitcoin and put in a god damn wallet.</p> </blockquote> <p>Now, out of curiosity I can’t help but wonder the obvious question of what would have happened had I put just $1 into Bitcoin or 5 or 20 etc. </p> <p>(I could not find the exact price of Bitcoin for May 9th 2013 when he uploaded the video. CoinMarketcap showed me May 5th and 12th and Coingecko showed me May 6th. The price was fluctuating between 110-115.
